Spring has Sprung!

I visited the Home Depot today and had a little party. My green thumbs were very busy as I planted this morning. It is hard to believe that last weekend it rained 5 inches and the wind howled and rattled my windows. Here is how we spent the weekend:

Quote to describe a typical afternoon napping with dogs...

"If you were to look into our apartment in the late morning, or early afternoon, or toward suppertime, you might find us together sleeping. Of course a good rainy day is preferable, but even on sunny summer days, the dogs and I get into bed. Rosie dives under the quilt on my right, Harry on my left and we jam ourselves together. After a little bit, Harry starts to snore, Rosie rests her chin on my ankle, the blanket rises and falls with our breathing, and I feel only gratitude. We are doing something as necessary to our well being as food or air or water. We are steeping ouselves, reassuring ourselves, renewing ourselves, three creatures of two species, finding comfort in the simple exchange of body warmth."
